Alzheimer’s

Overview

Medicare accounts for twenty percent of all funds spent on care of Alzheimer’s disease, meaning it is a major problem that is increasing among Americans.

At present, 5.3 million persons in the U.S. have been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. Of these, 5.1 million are over 65 years old. About 700,000 people die from Alzheimer’s (dementia) each year.

Mild cognitive impairment (short-term memory loss, difficulty concentrating) will develop into Alzheimer’s within five years. Approximately fifteen percent of adults have mild cognitive impairment (MCI).

Symptoms

Another cause is lack of adequate detoxification when exposed to multiple toxins, especially occupational toxins, heavy metals, and fluoride.

Liver problems are also a cause, such as not producing cholesterol for optimal cell wall structuring and not producing adequate hormones, as cholesterol is the precursor of most sex hormones and adrenal hormones.

When the liver is clean, the pancreas works better and more easily produces insulin when needed. Pharmaceuticals shut down normal body activity through suppression of enzymatic activity. The synthetic chemicals block the function of normal chemicals.

Approximately ninety percent of mental medications contain fluoride. Ninety percent of medications cause constipation. Many medications contain food dyes. Both aluminum and silicon dioxide are common fillers in medications.

A majority of Alzheimer’s causes are epigenetic, not genetic, but some other causes include:

Management

Maintain Good Cerebral Blood Flow

Reducing vascular damage, atherosclerosis can help maintain a healthy cerebral blood flow. There are mechanisms to reduce plaque formation and to lower naturally vascular risk factors such as high or low density lipoprotein, high triglycerides, high homocysteine, and high uric acid.

Blood flow can be increased with:

Regular Exercise

Oxygen Inhalation at Home

Vinpocetine

Gingko Biloba

Gotu Kola

Another way to maintain good blood flow to the brain is to ensure adequate heart function and the correction of any anemias.

Increasing nitric oxide production to cause vascular dilatation and increased blood flow is also a good strategy. Common methods include drinking beet juice, taking beet crystals in distilled water, or taking a supplement sublingually such as CircO2 or Neo40.

Ensure Adequate Raw Materials for Production of Neurotransmitters

Ensure the appropriate intake of essential amino acids with a good diet or supplementation.

The most important operating factor in degenerative disorders including those localized to the brain, such as ALS, Parkinson’s disease, Huntington’s disease, is underlying inflammation in the brain. This process starts as early as a patient’s 20s or 30s and manifests later as Alzheimer’s.

How to Avoid Brain Inflammation

Gluten can disrupt the blood-brain barrier (BBB), giving rise to “leaky BBB.” Gluten also increases the risk for multiple sclerosis and epileptic seizure.

Avoid grains (sprouted grains are a better form to take these in). Grains have an amylase-trypsin inhibitor which activates an inflammatory response in the GI tract. Grains can also be highly glycemic, especially rice (rice in the U.S. is contaminated with cadmium and arsenic).

Much of the grain stored in silos might also have mold contamination. There is a very toxic mycotoxin produced by mold in the silos called fumonisin. Protein in quinoa can mimic gluten. Corn also increases inflammation by raising the c-reactive protein index.

Mycotoxins lead to hormonal imbalances and give rise to muscle pain and loss. Mycotoxins also cause brain fog, cause brain inflammation, and are present in fungal infestations, such as candidiasis.

Any form of sugar is bad, including coconut sugar, honey, agave, and maple syrup. Flour contains higher levels of sugar, so breads, cookies, and cakes are extremely inflammatory.

High sugar ingestion is associated with a significant increase in fungal infection. Sugar depletes magnesium, which protects the BBB.

Dairy is high in sugar. There are proteins in dairy that mimic gluten. Casein, which is high in dairy cheeses, is a problem as it concerns food sensitivities and food resulting in inflammation.

Insulin and cortisol need to be kept in balance, as high levels of either can result in inflammation. When there is insulin-resistance, sugar trapped in the bloodstream and advanced glycation end (AGE) products are formed, which create free radicals and more inflammation.

These AGEs coat proteins that are normally mineral and vitamin carriers. They also affect proteins that end up as neurotransmitters.

Avoid hydrogenated fats. All hydrogenated fats are unhealthy but some saturated fats are healthy. Cooking with oils that have a low heating point create hydrogenated fats. The best oil to use is avocado oil.

If heating above 120 degrees then use coconut oil (but not sunflower, safflower, canola, olive, or cottonseed. Vegetable oils such as corn, soy, peanut, and almond are often derived from GMO foods.

Fermented foods such as kefir, kimchi, sauerkraut, kombucha, and coconut water kefir are also good for achieving ketosis.

Probiotics are good to add to your diet because good bacteria in the gut convert glutamate to GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid). High levels of neuroexcitatory glutamate through microglia causes toxicity and inflammation in the brain.

These endotoxins also cause amyloid formation, which seeps through the BBB. The bad amyloid, which is non-protective, results from conversion by the enzyme beta-secretase. Protective amyloid in the brain is from the enzyme gamma secretase.

Blood sugar imbalance combined with amyloid proteins tends to preferentially affect the hippocampus, the main site of Alzheimer’s.

Dr. George Allibone saved my life, when I came to Dr. Allibone I had already seen 6 different doctors' after less than two months under Dr. Allibone's care, I returned to school and work healthier than I have been in my life. If you are struggling with your health, Dr. George Allibone will not only give you hope, he will give you back your life.

Dear Dr. Allibone, I would like to take the opportunity to sincerely thank you for helping me resolve my elevated blood pressure without resorting to being tied to drugs for the rest of my life. Yesterday I had a blood pressure reading of 115/79.....I can't thank you enough!

- Gordon Baltzer (High Blood Pressure)

When I first came to Houston Wellness Clinic, I was a year past my breast cancer diagnosis. I was looking for someone to who would care about my overall health and not just my cancer. I found Dr. Allibone through a recommendation from one of the eight doctors I was working with at the time. She explained the vast managements HWC offered and how each might help. She was right. When I first started, my hormones were imbalanced, I had tachycardia due to anemia from heavy periods, I was high in heavy metals, and was deficient in many vitamins. I was not in good shape. We began working on each issue and I began to see improvements quickly. Dr. Allibone put me on bioidentical progesterone to balance my hormones and regulate my cycle. This not only helped my energy, acne, and moods, but also helped with my anemia by shortening the amount of blood I was losing during my cycle. He also tweaked my vitamin regiment. I am now on high quality supplements that not only help me fight cancer but also fights the source of my cancer a hormonal imbalance. Also, we started to rid my body of heavy metals through supplements and chelation. Needless to say, I feel like a new person. Slowly, my list of eight doctors began to dwindle down to two, Dr. Allibone and my oncologist. I have full trust in HWC. I am very thankful to have found them.

Approximately, one year ago I broke my wrist. The Orthopedic surgeon advised me to get a plate and screws to internally stabilize the fracture as I had some underlying osteoporosis. I undertook aggressive intravenous therapy with bone restoration supplements. Within two weeks my fracture had healed. The orthopedic surgeon was so impressed, that he felt that there was no need for operative stabilization of my fractures. To this day I get IV bone restoration together with bio-identical hormone replacement from Houston Wellness Clinic to prevent osteoporosis developing. I am so grateful that I have been exposed to the healing modalities available to me at Houston Wellness with supplements, vitamins, minerals, and hormones that have none of the severe side-effects associated with some prescription medicines.

- June A. (Osteoporosis)

For years I have been on prescription medication for several medical issues ranging from depression to allergies. As the list of medications grew, so did the side effects and more prescriptions were prescribed to counteract those side effects. It seemed like a never ending cycle. After meeting with Dr. Allibone, he came up with a management plan including diet, supplements, hormones and IV managements that has me off nearly all my medications and is actually fixing the issues, not just masking them with drugs. What has truly impressed me with Dr. Allibone is that he sits with me and discusses my management, he listens to me and my symptoms and we work together as a team to get my health to where it should be. Dr. Allibone has changed my life.

I started the HCG diet in mid March 2011 at a starting weight of 323 lbs. I had concerns about the low calorie intake but knew I needed something to kick start a healthier lifestyle. The first 10 days were not very difficult at all and I dropped 11 lbs. The next thirty days of the diet only got easier. I had days when I would have to remember to eat. My hunger just went away completely. I completed the diet at a weight of 289 lbs for a total loss of 34 lbs. I have been off the diet for 4 weeks now and with the help of Dr. Allibone I have lost another 10 lbs. I have done all kinds of diets: Atkins, Weight Watchers, and Slim Fast and not one has given me the results that Dr. Allibone has given me. I could not be happier with my results and the help that Dr. Allibone has given me.

- Luke S. (Weight Loss/HCG Diet)

I started seeing Dr. Allibone about five months ago, for severe allergies, swelling in the faces, joint pain, and fatigue. I had a constant sinus infection for 23 years since I moved to Texas. With the Iv therapy, change in diet, and vitamins I have made steady progress. It has taken a lot of hard work from myself and Dr. Allibone, but we have turned the corner.

- Mike (Allergies)

I have had great difficulty losing weight all my adult life. No doctor whether internist or endocrinologist ever could solve this issue. Within a short space time Houston Wellness Clinic discovered I had Reverse T3 syndrome. I am extremely excited about my new thyroid medication that is restoring me to normal thyroid function.

What do you say about the person who has given you your life back? It's a priceless gift. Lyme and it's co infections rip away and destroy every detail of your life including who you are. Nineteen years, over thirty specialists, years in the bed, and over twelve surgeries later, my journey finally lead me to Dr. Allibone.
Dr. A is extremely knowledgeable. He cares and treats his patients when all others can't, and/or have given up. There is no challenge he won't face and seek the answers to. I did not know what normal felt like. I now know life without pain and it is beautiful. I will put my life and my families lives in his hands if it's ever needed again. I look forward to living the rest of my life healthy and lyme free. Thank you Dr. Allibone.

Dear Dr.Allibone, I had my second hip transplant on Oct 4. Both the surgeon and his physician's assistant were shocked at the quality of the bone in the second hip and told me because of it the surgery took only 1/2 of the time. I think my thanks to you is in high orders. See card...

- Suzanne Marsh (Bone Density)

I was diagnosed 2 years ago with highly malignant tumor of the brain, 95% of my tumor was removed surgically. I then ambarked on a course of anti-cancer therapy advocated by Dr. Allibone. At present it appears there is no return, or increase in size of the residual tumor. In my opinion, if I followed conventional therapy advocated by the cancer specialist in the UK and USA, I believe I would have had the same results as Mr. Ballesteros.

Dear George
Seldom in my life, have I ever been at a loss for how to express my thoughts period. However, I find myself wanting to say grateful, appreciative, indebted, fortunate, and just plain lucky, as if they were one word. My debilitating symptoms were not recognized by 5 very well regarded specialist in their fields, and then I found myself in your office. After just 10 days, I've actually gotten a life back, that doesn't have me needing to lie down for even 5 minutes. The past many months had me lying down for hours everyday. Enough about me, as I prefer to talk about you, and how much you mean to both Herb and I. Thank you for your dedication to what you do and for your caring for me!
Sincerely
Arlyne
